Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset
I read about a fourth of it nearly a year ago (about Christmas time) and stopped for other things, not because of the book itself. I am picking it up again now.

She was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1928. I have several of hers, but never got around to them. Now I see there are much newer translations. Is yours one of them?

I'm reading a translation online which appears to have been published in 1929.

I do not know much about her or her writing. Have you heard good things about any other books of hers?

She wrote another series, which I have, but again, have not read. According to Wiki article about her, the new translations are from 1997:

Currently going back through "The Lord of the Rings". I'm one of those yearly, start it on the 22nd of September and read at all the proper dates, so Sam and Frodo are in Rivendell at the moment, just like they would be. I've also been perusing my Silmarillion for a couple of posts on the wiki.
